The Leader of the Opposition in the Senate asks what we have been doing for 10 years. To clarify, I was actually referring to the Labor governments in the states and territories. We have decided not to keep going down that road. What we have decided to do is engage the private sector. We have flagged that future investments we make will be made on the basis that the nature of the investment will not change. We are not going to be throwing good money after bad. The people on the other side, who continue to provide advice to us, should look very carefully at the model that is being provided.
